More for the Waun Mawn gallery

 


Pair of leaning stones at SN 08135 33695


Spectacular small hut circle (diameter c 5m) at SN08069 34126


Outcrop of unspotted dolerite to the west of the putative stone circle site on Waun Mawn


Stone extraction pit not far from the small hut circle.  The pit is c 1.20m in diameter and 80 cm - 1m deep. There is a clear ramp on its SE edge -- used for the extraction or dragging away of a large stone.  Was it standing, or recumbent?


The standing stone on Waun Mawn, assumed by MPP to be the last stone standing of the 
putative stone circle.


The "Deer Park" embankment which runs out into the peat bog on the south 
side of the Gernos Fach track.  It contains many massive dolerite boulders.


Large boulders indicating the presence of a small rectangular structure on the flank of the "Deer Park" embankment, not far from the pair of leaning stones.


The large embanked circle at SN07963 34004.  It has a diameter of approx 25m.  For many years it has been overgrown with gorse, and so is difficult to identify.   The ridge with boulders is discernible around the diameter except for the southern quadrant. So maybe it was never completed?
